Jude The Obscure

Jude The Obscure traces a poor stonemason’s ill-fated romance with his free-spirited cousin, and spares no Victorian institution — marriage, religion, education. The outrage that followed publication led the embittered author to renounce fiction. Modern critics hail the novel as a pioneering work of feminism and socialist thought.

This special edition has been created with accessibility in mind. It features a fully adjustable coloured overlay system designed to support readers with Irlen Syndrome, dyslexia, or visual stress. By reducing visual strain and allowing each reader to customise their experience, this edition makes Thomas Hardy’s bitter narrative more comfortable and enjoyable to read.
